viewer|170Hi, if there's anyone there, I'd really appreciate your help00:41
viewer|170I've been unable to find the system requirements for the latest version of the OS. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction?00:42

viewer|170Hi, if there's anyone there, I'd really appreciate your help01:03
viewer|170I've been unable to find the system requirements for the latest version of the OS. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction?01:03
i-The minimum is probably about 512-768 mb of ram and an 700 MHz CPU, since that's what the Ubuntu (Unity) system requirements say (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements)01:05
viewer|170You think that low would be enough? The Ubuntu download page recommends 2GHz and 2GB of RAM. I need to have decent performance on a relatively low-powered machine01:08
viewer|170http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop01:08
mparilloI find for light usage, I can run Kubuntu on a 1GB netbook.01:12
viewer|170What do you mean by light usage? At which point would you say that it starts losing performance?01:14
mparilloWeb browsing or light doc editing in Libre office. No heavy games beyond kblocks.01:16
mparilloI have found Kubuntu to be the lightest KDE distro for my netbook or a 1GB VM. YMMV01:16
viewer|170Thanks mparillo, I'll try it out then01:17
data-tomI need some help I'm running KDE v5.6.5 KDE Frameworks v5.23.0 on a laptop with 8GB:RAM Intel:i5-6300U HD Graphics 520 & things on my screen are jitter like when i move my mouse or scroll a window or even move a window. apps menu  is slow coming up etc...01:19
data-tomI'm no KDE master01:19
data-tomwhat settings would help with this^?01:20
data-tomWoW it is sure dead in here01:23
data-tomi love KDE but trying to fix things in it WoW what a pain in the ass01:23
DarthFrogHi.  I'm running Kubuntu 16.04.1.  Dolphin won't open an audio cd, says that audiocd is an unknown protocol.  kdemultimedia-kio-plugins is installed.  Anyone have any ideas?  Google turns up nothing useful.01:43
OmnifrogQuestion:  Can you install Kubuntu (or any distro) to an unmounted drive or partition from already booted-from-a-hard drive system (ie. not an install CD) ?02:06
Unit193Omnifrog: So, you want to debootstrap a system?02:11
Omnifrogjust to clarify, say I boot up my system and my / drive is /sda102:12
Omnifrogis there a way to install a new distro to /sdb1 without putting a CD in and restarting the computer?02:14
Omnifrogobviously I mean /dev/sdx#02:16
Unit193You'll have to restart to get into the new OS, though.02:17
Omnifrogwell yeah, I know that part02:17
Unit193Sure, just trying to be as clear as possible, yes.  And yes, if it is a different partition and you don't want to mess with your *current* partition, then yes.02:18
Omnifroghow?02:18
Omnifrogdo you need the install CD/DVD?02:19
Omnifrogcan you do it entirely in software from the ISO?02:20
Omnifrogwill it ask you if you want to upgrade to Windows 10?02:21
OmnifrogI NEED ANSWERS!02:21
Unit193Oookay, Ubuntu docs are dated...  You don't need the ISO, in theory if you do it live as long as debootstrap is installed you'll need nothing additionally.02:22
Unit193Omnifrog: It may not be the most easy thing to do, do you have specific reasons for needing to do this, btw?02:24
Omnifrogyeah, I have an old (very old) installation of open suse on a drive in this box02:25
Unit193Basics are: mount it to a dir, debootstrap it all, mount dev and other needed filesystems there, chroot in, install the kubuntu-desktop task with  apt-get install kubuntu-desktop^02:25
Unit193OK, no idea how to do it from Suse.02:25
Omnifrogno no, my main boot OS is Kubuntu02:26
Omnifrogthe partition with open suse is what I want to reclaim02:26
Omnifrogand convert to a new backup boot drive02:27
Unit193Oh good then.02:28
Omnifrogseems like  DVD install might be more simpler02:28
Unit193Yep, it certainly is easier.  But the question is, which is more fun? ;)02:28
Omnifrogjust have to be careful about device names02:28
Omnifrogthe most fun option is the safest option02:29
Omnifrogrestoring shit from multiple sources is muchly not fun02:30
Unit193So yes, official DVD installer with ubiquity it is.02:30
Omnifrogthis begs the question though ...02:31
Omnifrogwhy is this not an option ?02:31
Omnifroglike... in a menu somewhere?02:31
Unit193Ubiquity is the default installer, you never actually see the name.  Sorry about that.02:31
OmnifrogI mean, even for enterprise applications I can see that feature being useful02:33
dbromAnyone using handbrake these days02:43
OmnifrogI've used it a couple times02:59
OmnifrogI had no idea what I was doing02:59

plusEVHi, I am in need of urgent assistance.I just came home from vacation and I am sitting on a train. I was stupid trusting that the wifi on this train was stable enough to do system updates. Now my Discover app has been sitting on 10% done for the last hour. If I try closing Discover I get the following message: Could not close the application, there are tasks that need to be done.14:02
plusEVI am worried I brick my system when I have to close the laptop down and exit the train in 50 minutes from now.14:03
plusEVwhat can I do?14:03
geniiIf muon doesn't time out by when you have to turn the machine off, use ps to find it's PID and then use kill on the PID number14:04
plusEVKubuntu 16.04, Kernel: 4.4.0-28, KDE Plasma 5.6.5, KDE Frameworks 5.23.014:05
yossarianukplusEV: what I would do is (1) kill the process -  also check forany running apt + dpkg processes. (2) do a 'sudo apt update' (3) do a 'sudo apt-get -f install '14:05
plusEVso just kill moun in htop?14:06
yossarianuk(4) do a 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'14:06
yossarianuk(change 3 and 4 around actually14:06
plusEVlol im such a newblet with htop. When I try to kill stuff it gives me 30 different send signal.14:10
plusEVwhat to choose? sigterm?14:10
yossarianuksignal 9 is direct kill.14:10
geniiYes, 914:11
plusEVty14:12
plusEVall right praying to RNGsus that this reboot works.14:19
plusEVsweet guys. thank you both for quick assistance. :)14:23
plusEVLesson learned. Do not do updates on the train.14:23
yossarianukplusEV: you could always use 'sudo apt-get -d dist-upgrade'14:24
yossarianukthis just downloads packages14:24
yossarianuknot installs14:24
yossarianukso if connection is lost it doesn't matter14:24
plusEVyossarianuk: That is nice to know. ty.14:25
plusEVyossarianuk: I know not to do this on train WiFi really, but I brainfarted and I was thinking using VPN mattered. Of course it does not ;)14:27

geniiAudio CDs don't have a file system16:16
DarthFroggenii: Yeah but it used to use the kio-audiocd slave to open the disk and show the tracks as WAV, MP3 or Ogg files.  Now, it doesn't open the disk at all.16:17
geniiDarthFrog: Is libcdio-cdda1 installed?16:19
DarthFrogI'll check.16:20
DarthFrogNo.  Installing now.16:21
DarthFroggenii: no joy.  But K3B sees it fine.  So that's my work-around.16:24
BluesKajDarthFrog, 16.04 point release is supposedly delayed til next week , so all upgrades aren't available yet17:00
geniiOddly, the ubuntu-announce mailing list had the announcement for the point release on July 22 saying it was out already, no retraction or following announcement that it was delayed.17:09
geniiHowever, the !ltsupgrade factoid reflects the delay17:10
BluesKajDarthFrog my vesion is still plain 16.04 and the cd and dvd disks are recognized as media in dolphin,  What does wodim --devices show ?17:21
geniiMight need some gvfs things17:22
DarthFrogK3b didn't work.  Says can't find libcdparanoia but libcdparamoia0 is installed.18:13
DarthFrogI give up. :-(18:16

rajivmarsgenii. ok. thankyou:)19:03
